Skull Session: Felix Okpara’s Departure Leaves Ohio State Hoops in Limbo, Buckeye Nation Can Tour the Shoe For Cheap and Jim Tressel Attends Notre Dame’s Spring Game

Felix Okpara's departure leaves Buckeyes in limbo, Ohio State opens the Shoe for guided tours and Jim Tressel attends Notre Dame's spring game.

IT’S NOT THAT DEEP. Over the weekend, former Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel attended Notre Dame’s spring game to cheer on former Buckeye linebacker Marcus Freeman. Reporter Matt Fortuna spotted Tressel on the field after the game – which was a difficult task since Tressel was not in his usual scarlet sweater vest.



Because he wore blue and green colors and a Notre Dame logo, Tressel ruffled some feathers in the Ohio State online community on Saturday and Sunday.

Let’s stop for a second and remember: The person of interest here is Tressel. He is a national championship-winning head coach at Ohio State with a 9-1 record against “That Team Up North.” Ever since he left the program in 2010, he’s rooted for the Buckeyes, and he will continue to do so for the rest of his life.

Tressel’s appearance at Notre Dame’s spring game while wearing blue and green colors is less about his fanatical allegiances and more about the love he has for former players.

One weekend, he could wear Notre Dame attire to support Freeman, and the following weekend, he could wear Valparaiso clothes to cheer on Mike Brewster – not because he’s a huge Fighting Irish or Beacons fan, but because he’s a great coach, a great mentor and a great friend.

It’s that simple!
